Is there a way to see where PA widgets are being used? (ex: what dashboards)

[Blair5]

Doing some clean up and want to remove widgets that aren't being used. I see there is a dashboard count but want to see what dashboards are using the widgets without having to go through each and every dashboard manually. Is there a way to see form a list view or related list?

Today, this can be done but it is a bit painful.  The best way is to create a view through the underlying tables (dashboards, dashboard tabs, tabs, grid canvas, portal preference) to get this.    I don't recall the specific tables, but the data is all there.

Hi,

There is no OOB m2m table between PA widget and dashboard.

But, you can use widget statistics to check widget usage and then perform your clean activity if widget is not used frequently.

I recommend you look at the "PA Dashboard Search" utility on SN Share:

There is also a short video of how it works:

It isn't exactly what you are looking for but I think it will make cleanup much, much easier. This Share app is free to Download via the Share site link using your Hi login. When applying it (or any Share content) make sure to follow the standard SDLC process.

Good luck!
